## About the firm (full detail)

Adam Dornfeld began his investigation career in 1992 with an insurance administrator, investigating automobile accidents, product liability, and slip-and-fall cases across Long Island and Connecticut. He advanced through field investigations and then joined a private investigative firm to earn his license and build expertise in surveillance and missing persons work, eventually founding Investigreat. The firm operates on a stated mission of replacing uncertainty with certainty.

**Adam Dornfeld — Founder / Lead Investigator.** Licensed in New York and Connecticut, with a career spanning since the early 1990s. Specializes in surveillance, accident investigations, and missing persons cases. Published in Pursuit Magazine and The Investigator's Toolbox. Member of ALDONYS (Associated Licensed Detectives of New York State), the Society of Professional Investigators, the Connecticut River Valley Chamber of Commerce, and the Greater Flushing Chamber of Commerce.

**Terri Dornfeld — Licensed Investigator / Operations.** Licensed in New York and Connecticut. Specializes in OSINT (open-source intelligence), deep-web searches, data analysis, and social-media investigations. Published in The Investigator's Toolbox and CALI. Manages office operations and also performs surveillance and site inspections.

**Awards and recognition.** Expertise.com "Best Private Investigators in NYC" award for multiple consecutive years (displayed for 2020–2026); ranked #12 in Starter Story's "Top 100 Trending Private Investigator Businesses to Watch" (2021); featured on the PI Perspectives Podcast; recognized by Pursuit Magazine, The Investigator's Toolbox, and CALI.

**Values.** The firm emphasizes ethical decision-making and integrity — for example, declining a potentially profitable case that presented a conflict of interest between a husband and wife rather than compromising its standards.

**Representative outcomes.** Reunited a woman with her birth father in a missing-persons case; determined that a suspected cheating boyfriend was actually working a second job to save for an engagement ring; documented workers'-compensation fraud by someone who claimed sudden disability for court; and produced documented evidence in infidelity investigations.
